Build Overview

This Build is an Endgame Setup for the Lich Ascendancy using The Last Lament Crossbow in Combination with the Low Life Mechanic provided by Eternal Life to get extremely high Movement Speed, Clear and Damage.

The Eternal Life Lich Ascendancy Node not only enables us to permanently be Low Life to make use of Passive Tree Nodes like Killer Instinct, Support Gems like Execute III and Direstrike II or the Tecrod's Gaze Rune, but also provides the Character with an addtional Defensive Layer with Soulless Form on top of our high Evasion Rating, Deflection and Energy Shield.

All of this not only gives this Build insanely fast Clearspeeds, but also makes the Character unusually Tanky for a Build like this.

This Build is an Endgame Setup, it is not suited for Levelling.

If you want a Levelling Build for the Lich Ascendancy, use my ED Contagion Lich Build Guide that will take you from Level 1 all the way into the Endgame.

Big Shoutout to both Farham and Sowza, both of them did amazing Versions of this Build and alot of the Inspiration for this came from them.
